Minecraft commands have been around for quite some time now, but not everyone knows how to use them. In this article, we will show you how to use commands in Minecraft and we will tell you about the 5 most useful Minecraft commands. The amount of commands in Minecraft may vary from version to version, and if you are strictly playing survival mode or on a server with friends.

How to use commands in Minecraft?

To use commands in Minecraft, you have to allow cheats before you create your world. When you click "Create New World", there is an option called "Allow Cheats". It is turned off by default, but you need to turn it on if you want to use commands. If you disable the option you will not be able to use commands in Minecraft.



All Minecraft commands start with a forward slash (/). To see a Minecraft commands list, open your chat and type the forward slash (/). Hover your mouse over the commands to click and have them appear in your chat without typing each letter separately. Additionally, you can use your scroll wheel to navigate up and down, allowing you to view all Minecraft commands in one place.



Minecraft commands can be hard to use, so we made a list of useful ones to enhance your gaming experience.

#5 Teleport Command

The Minecraft teleport command can be a game-changer, offering a quick solution to reaching distant locations or connecting with friends across your Minecraft world.

To teleport to a specific location, you need to use the following Minecraft command.

Be cautious when teleporting in Minecraft. If you choose the wrong Y level, you may get trapped inside of blocks. Mainly pay attention if you are teleporting to the Stony Peaks or Jagged Peaks biome. Jagged Peaks is one of the tallest biomes in the game, able to reach the height limit of the Overworld.
